Forgotten Realms

[Paladin]

The realms has so many different places to go, so many cultures, and mysteries. I love the realms as it has so much to it. You never have to leave a certain region and can still have a great time. I love travelling the realsm and introducing the different cultures you can find throughout the realms.

[Renthallin]

I love the Realms. Especially with all the colorful characters that are derived from the books. It makes it easy to add a little bit of flavor with a rather important NPC walking down the street. He/she may not do much but hey they are there for the looking.

[rblademaster]

I prefer to homebrew but my world is pretty similar in style. I don't like the all powerfull NPC's I didn't create myself. I like to keep that power in my own hands thank you, most important reason to homebrew is that players can never make claims of something Existing unless I tell them to. Keeps suprises to a minimum without to much complaints

[Niemz]

I agree, home brew realms are better. I would feel strange about making drastic changes to a realm I didn't create.

[Ross]

Anyone have much experiance with the Maztica element of the Realms?

My canpaign will be ripping off huge chunks of it and I was wondering what you might have liked or disliked about it.

[Paladin]

I ahve not adventured there much, but i did enjoy the jungles. It was different to not have availability to all armor types and weaponry. made for a nice change.

[Ross]

So what did you do while you adventured in the jungle?

[Paladin]

discovered a tribe that was under the influence of a lost temple of Set, stopped a feud between the tribe and lizardmen...you know.fun stuff like that.

[Ross]

Usual day at the office huh?

[Paladin]

yeah just a typical day at the office. Well for me and another player it was, the rest of the party died between 2 and 5 times. Only two of us had our original characters make it through the jungles.

(I hope that dinosaur enjoyed that halfling before it died...)

[Ross]

Haha, I'm certain it did savor the halfwits before it swallowed, I'm sure I would.

Any day a Halfling gets eaten, beaten to death, frozen to death, torched, poisoned, tortured, denied a meal, or generally brutalised, is a good day for me!


So what sort of things wiped out your fellow party members apart from giant freaking hungry lizards? (Looking for inspiration here......)

[Paladin]

In the temple there was a trap that was a giant stone block that falls onto the party (look at it this way, you look a lot thinner now)

We had a couple of players killed by a small group of were-apes.

A player got caught in the crossfire of a jungle dwarf and jungle goblin ambush (poison tipped arrows sure are bad...lol).

A player was killed by some Tabaxi because he insulted the leader of the tribe (he deserved it anyways, always stealing from the party)

[Ross]

Were-Apes, now that one did surprise me!

A player of mine had a Tabaxi NPC follower, very cool little critters (though not that little....).

I think I'm going to enjoy running a quasi-Maztica game!

[Paladin]

I hope you get surprised and amazed while you adventure there.

[Ross]

Probably not going to be all that surprised as I'll be the DM, but if they all survive I may be amazed
